It's been a year
A full solar cycle...and the blood river is back
That means other things may come back too
The moving buildings the zealots
I dont know how many of us are still here that remember...but i think its important to share what we learned so everyone else can be safe

So much here tries to hurt you with your past even if you dont really need any help getting beat down by it
There may be ghosts or creatures that try to drag you down with them
But you can shake free of them if you have the help
So always ask for help OK?

We go forward whether we want to or not after all

Last time I asked my friends for help, they spilled food and drink on themselves.

[siriusly]

Maybe theyre bad at cooking?
I wasnt really talking about cooking...

[tempredmental]

Youve been ehre a whole year?
Thats

[Oops. He hit send. But that's a long time.]

Is there anything else we need to really look out for

[If things were repeating on cycle, then it would be helpful to talk to people who remembered back that far.]

[siriusly]

Yeah
The mushrooms
The ghosts
Theres a bunch im sure im missing which is why i hope some of the other old timers can chime in

Its weird calling myself an old timer...

If they come back, we should just kill them on sight. No hesitation.

[siriusly]

I agree but those zealots are pretty hard to kill
Sometimes its hard enough to just get away from them let alone study their tactics
But with more hunters around it might be possible to learn their patterns more this time around
At least i hope so...

That's one way to survive in this place. Simply wait around long enough as everyone become whittled down by attrition and eventually you become one of the most experienced.

[.......Maul, is any of that actually helpful to hear?]

[siriusly]

Thats not really useful...
Whether more or less of us remain is out of our control
The best we can do is share what we know no matter our tenure

From what I've heard about the Zealots, it seems like it would be a good idea for the Sleepers as a collective to consolidate our strengths and work together to kill as many of them as possible, and to take prisoners and force their secrets out. There are enough of us with enough power between us that we should be able to handle it.

[siriusly]

More than anything, banding together to protect everyone and keep everyone from that horrible tower is priority
I agree that itd be great to be able to get some information out of them, but from what ive experienced with them it doesnt seem likely...

don't forget to appreciate the good times or you'll go totally nuts
the black parade was pretty damn fun, you could spend all month partying in cellar door
it probably won't keep you from getting a loneliness zombie following you around and turning you into the ring girl, but it could help

[siriusly]

The parade with all the weird masks everyone wore for a month you mean??

[velvet_teen]

Ugh! The zealots are the ones who hang you up on a wall by your skin?! I haaaaated those creeps!! That huge cave sucked too but at least I learned some cool things from it.

[siriusly]

Yeah
More than anything we need to make sure we can keep everyone safe from that place
I didnt have control of my powers then but i do now
Im not going to let people get caught up if i can help it

text; username not set

[givetheslip]

that's very kind of you to say.
i think there are worse places to spend a year though.

[siriusly]

It depends on the month really
But yeah i hear some people come from some really rough places
So at least theres some good in being here for them

[ Oh, Manabu. Chizuru is entirely unsurprised by him speaking about offering and asking for help. That's not the reason she's replying to this message, really.

No, it's the ominous other things he's mentioning. And the girl knows at this point that Manabu is kind enough to offer information when she asks. ]

excuse me
but i was wondering what exactly you meant by the blood river

[ That sounds scary, okay! And she hasn't seen it yet, so.. is this something she ought to worry about?! It sounds like it! ]

[siriusly]

Hi chizuru
Youre typing does that mean you can see again?/

[dohaeris]

Some people seem to come from worlds where food and clothes seem to appear by magic. Nobody could survive on my world without help. I am practiced enough in seeking it.

I would know more about these zealots, if I can. May I ask what is it they believe? It sounds as if they pose a threat.

[siriusly]

Its tough to say because they dont talk
Only act
They abducted a bunch of us and
It was bad
I dont know why
But it had somethign to do with the tower

private text

[faceblocks]

speaking of getting dragged down with them
you ok?

[siriusly]

Ive been worse
Ive been better but ive been worse too
Are you OK

text; un: levi

[dirtdevil]

you wanna elaborate on some of that shit for those of us who'll be enjoying it all for the first time?

[siriusly]

Yeah sure
Vira Lorr might be better and tying it all up nice but i can at least share what i remembered
The most important parts anyway
First thing is to not touch any black feathers if you can avoid it
That takes you to the river

text; un: clarke

[romancekiller]

so this blood river you're talking about happened before?

[siriusly]

Yeah
A year ago almost exactly

[faithfulson]

It's really been that long, hasn't it?

[ He hasn't stayed on one planet for a whole year since he left Tatooine. It's... weird, to put it mildly, but that's the least of their worries in this place. ]

But you're right, you know? No matter how much around here tries to beat us down, other Sleepers are always around to help. There's no shame in asking for it.

[ Says the hypocrite. ]

[siriusly]

At this point those of us who went through it once would be irresponsible not to right

[obeir]

[ The many losses throughout the last year have been weighing heavily on K, it's hard not to feel their absence all the more keenly as he reads Manabu's post. Moods like this make him wish alcohol had any affect on him. But instead of sharing his melancholy, he decides to focus on something he's grateful for. ]

This marks the anniversary of when a dashing, handsome stranger saved me from myself. I'm very fortunate to be able to call him a friend now.

[siriusly]

Really
Who was it? are they still around
